n.paradoxa is starting a monthly salon in London (venue is near Waterloo Station) about feminist art practices.

First dates: 16 May, 13 June, 18 July 2013

£5 entry fee
Drinks, wine, bottled beers and light refreshments will be available to purchase at the event.

The salon is a networking and exchange event for women artists, writers, critics and curators who readily identify themselves with feminist art practices and would like to discuss feminist ideas in relation to the visual arts, recent and/or future opportunities and art projects.

If you are passing through London for business or pleasure on any of these dates or would like to attend just one event, please contact us. You would be most welcome.

This event is a forum for professional women artists, curators and writers to meet. The editor of n.paradoxa, Katy Deepwell, will be there as well as contributors to the journal.

The salon is an opportunity for each woman to share information about recent and future art projects with other women in a friendly and intimate setting.

Adrienne Rich

The problem, finally, is not that of who does the housework and childcare, whether or not one can find a life companion who will share in the sustenance and repair of daily life – crucial as these may be in the short run. It is a question of the community we are reaching for in our work and on which we can draw; whom we envision as our hearers, our co-creators, our challengers; who will urge us to take our work further, more seriously, than we had dared; on whose work we can build. Women have done these things for each other, sought each other in community, even if only in enclaves, often through correspondence, for centuries. Denied space in the universities, the scientific laboratories, the professions, we have devised our networks. We must not be tempted to trade the possibility of enlarging and strengthening those networks, and of extending them to more and more women, for the illusion of power and success as “exceptional” or “privileged” women in the professions. Rich, Adrienne, 1976, "Conditions for Work: The Common World of Women"
